THE WAIHI MINE.
IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS
BY TELEGRAPH —PKESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, February 13. The way in which the Waihi Mine is opening up at No. 8 level goes far to prove there are vast reserves cf valuable ore for the future in this world-famous mine. At No. 8 level the Edward Reef proves Yoft in width, all ore of highly payable value. Some of the ore is very rich. A block of about one cwt. on view at the office of the company is heavily mineralised and shows broad seams of precious metal through it. At various parts of the block free gold can also be seen, and altogether this may be considered the most important development the Waihi Company has ever had to report. An idea of the way in which the mine is opened up may be gathered' from the fact that it will yet be a year or two before stoping for supplying ore to the mill will require to be done at this point, there being now over 1,300,000 tons of ore already opened up for breaking out when required.
